FIFA 25 / EA Sports FC 25 Parental Controls & Child Safety

Why FIFA 25 Safety Settings Are Important

FIFA 25 (EA Sports FC 25) is rated PEGI 3 and widely enjoyed for its accessible gameplay modes. However, online play, Ultimate Team mechanics, and virtual currency purchases (FC Coins and pack openings) present real risks for younger players. Experts like Internet Matters have highlighted the need for extra vigilance around these mechanics to ensure digital wellbeing.

 

 

Available Safety Settings for FIFA 25

• Child vs Teen EA Account
• Restriction of Online Play / Multiplayer
• Control of FC Coins / Ultimate Team Purchases
• Access to Companion Apps & Social Features
• Playtime Guidelines via EA and Platform Tools

 

 

 

How to Apply These Safety Measures

1. Create a Child EA Account

• Set up an EA child account, which automatically restricts access to online multiplayer, companion apps, and purchases.

 

2. Upgrade to Teen Account When Appropriate

• Once age requirements are met, upgrade the account to Teen via EA prompts. This allows supervised online features while preserving parental controls

 

3. Use Platform-Level Controls to Limit Online Gameplay

• Even with a teen account, you can enforce limits on multiplayer and communication by adjusting Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo parental settings. These platform controls directly impact EA game behaviour.

 

4. Manage In-Game Spending

• Child accounts are blocked from making purchases. For teener profiles, monitor via platform wallets or use EA app spending tools.

 

5. Block Access to Companion Apps & Social Features

• By default, the features are disabled on child accounts. Parents should confirm these settings during setup.

 

6. Set Playtime Rules Using Platform or EA Tools

• Use console Family Settings to set hours or use EA’s in-app tools: “Family playtime” limits, spending caps, and weekly activity reports.

 

 

Why Enabling These Settings Is Essential

Though FIFA 25 carries a general rating, its in-game economy, online interactions, and social features go far beyond “just a game.” Therefore, the proper use of child accounts, spending restrictions, and platform oversight offers a safe, age-appropriate experience. This proactive approach also helps encourage responsible gaming habits and opens up important family conversations about digital boundaries.
